Demko likely plays tomorrow in Nashville. Probably want an extra goalie on the taxi squad. Spencer Martin was sent back to Abbotsford yesterday. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Master Mind Posted January 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2022 I refuse to watch a game involving the Blackhawks until the NHL properly punishes the team. Hope the Canucks crush them. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
